In separation from Krsna, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu relished all these ecstatic activities, and thus He fulfilled His own desires.
PURPORT
In the beginning of Caitanya-caritamrta it is said that Lord Caitanya appeared in order to taste the feelings Radharani felt upon seeing Krsna.
Krsna Himself could not understand the ecstatic feelings of Radharani toward Him, and therefore He desired to accept the role of Radharani and thereby taste these feelings.
Lord Caitanya is Krsna with the feelings of Radharani; in other words, He is a combination of Radha and Krsna.
It is therefore said, sri-krsna-caitanya radha-krsna nahe anya.
By worshiping Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu alone, one can relish the loving affairs of Radha and Krsna together.
One should therefore try to understand Radha-Krsna not directly but through Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and through His devotees.
